Application Instructions for GFTK VDW 950 StoneProtect Plus 3 In 1

  1. Requirements

• A clean and dust-free, structurally sound, absorbent, and dry paved surface which is otherwise ready for pointing; or with pointing that is fully cured and has no residual binder on the surface.
• Ambient and surface temperatures – minimum 10°C/50°F, maximum 25°C/77°F, with dry weather conditions and no rain or heavy dew forecast for at least 24 hours.
• After application and prior to grouting, thoroughly pre-wet the surface of the paving and mask adjacent surfaces that are not to be jointed.
• Always use clean and fresh tap water!

   2. Tools 

• Brushes, rollers, or low-pressure sprayers, plus sponges to remove any excess.
• Suitable PPE should be used, including goggles, gloves, etc.

  3. Application

• The areas to be treated should be completely dry, clean, and free from any dirt or contaminants that could prevent
  or reduce penetration.
• Apply VDW 950 StoneProtect Plus 3 in 1 with a suitable brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer evenly over the surface to saturation, but avoiding any residual ponding or puddling.
• Remove any excess with a sponge; this is particularly important on surfaces with uneven absorbency. Otherwise, localized darkening can occur.
• Avoid splashes on adjacent materials, and remove any spillages immediately with a damp cloth.

  4. Curing

• Protect areas treated with Xtreme StoneProtect Plus 3 in 1 from moisture and any other dirt or surface
  contamination for a minimum of 5 hours before access, 24 hours before use (at 20°C/68°F and 65% relative
  humidity).
• When completely dry, the treated paving can also be pointed with the appropriate VDW jointing mortar,
  if this was not completed before the treatment.
